Below is the dsm.opt for for the tdp agent.  I think maybe the problem
is that our network group used the default dsm.opt and didn't bind it to
the actual management class set up for the agent?

Kelli - Your posting doesn't give us any sense of what you actually did.

Review pages 16 and 17 of the 5.1.5 TDP manual, and see if your
arrangement complies with what the manual advises.

Re-post with technical details if necessary.
